The Kay to Reconstruction. ? Tho following lettor front (Jen. POPE to Gon. SWAYNB, who commanda in Alabama, ?mows tho mode and manner of Reconstruc tion these lattor days. Evidently, tho ex- j tremo Radiohls feel that their power and do- . minion are passing away. Put to thc letter of Gen. POPE : I IIEADQ'RTS 3D MILITARY DISTRICT, ~\ Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, V Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 20. 1807. ) My Dear General :- I write you unofficial ?j, ly, as I do not wish to reply to your telegrams Tclating to tho compoiiBation of tho members of tho Convokion. ? he ltcconstru ation Acts presoribed tho manner in which such com pensation shall bo made, and T do not know that 1 havo tho authority to act at all in tho matter. I am willing, however, to sanction thc pay ment of tho Convention from funds now in tho Stato Treasury, under thc following con ditions. 1. That tho Convention provide for tho levy and collection of a special tax, in accor dance with tho requirements of tho Recon struction Acts, to cover thc payment, which ?mount shall bc paid into tho Stato Treasury beforo tho cud of tho fiscal year. 2. That tho compensation of thc members of tho Convention shall bc fixed nt a reasona ble sum. 8. That tho payments from thc treasury bc not mado until tho Convention has completed its work. As I have said, I do not know that I havi tho authority to order th?3 payment, but I wil do so on tho foregoing conditions. In this connection, I hopo you will sugges to tho members of thc Convention, that if th? newspaper accounts aro true, tho amount o compensation they promise seems to (as, in deed it docs to everybody I have beard spcal of it) execssic"; and, if adopted, a very ba effect will be produced upon tho friends c tho Convcntiou. Thc Convention should fi the lowest possible compensation for its men hers, bcarly cuough to pay actual expenses. I cannot tell you what an unpleasant i m prc siou has boen created by tho newspaper r ports on thc subject I hope on every account that tho Convoi tion will finish its work and adjourn at r carly day. If they knew how their proccc iugs aro watched, alike by friends and ouotu and how much of their futuro depends upc their prompt and reasonable action, it seen to me that usolcss discussions should bo av< dod, and a fair and satisfactory result reacio in tho shortest possible timo. Every day tb romain in session after thc 20th of this mon will bo used as a reproach against them, a will tend to discourage tho friends of rca .etruction everywhere.
